OEHME PICTURE SALE. 
For the 93 pictures, mostly oils, 
which formed the stock of Mr. Julits 
Oehme, the veteran dealer, who has, 


Kirby obtained an announced total of 
$56,595, at Mendelssohn Hall, Friday 
evening, Jan. 27. This was a disap- 
pointing result, as it had been hoped 
that Mr. Oehme, for whom general 
sympathy in his illness and consequent 
forced retirement is felt and expressed, 
would realize more from the dispersal, 
of his good st’, which is said to: chave | 
cost him about $100, 000. 
But the season is not a good one for 
picture auctions, and some of Mr. 
Oehme’s- stock had become old. fash- 
ioned, as for example the examples of 
Teemmeter and Kowalski, The Bar-' 
‘bizons and Dutch pictures in the sale 
|were not well supported by the dealers, 
and some went at almost bargain 
prices. The excellent Diaz, which sold 
for $4,600 and which was secured by 
Mr. P. J. Goodhart, is said to have cost 
Mr. Ovhme some $11,000. 
| The dealers were out in force and | 


jamong those present were Messrs. 
Schauss, Reinhardt, Vose, Glucksman, 
Durand-Ruel, Knoedler, Scott and 


Fowles, Fay, MacDonald, Schultheis and 
Thompson. .There were comparatively 
ifew private buyers, but among {these 
‘were Messrs. Hugo Reisinger, who se- 
cured a good Pissarro for $1,075, A. A. 
Healey, avo picked up an excellent De 
Bock for the low price of $210, P. J 
Goodhart, and M. M. Lehman.

er—Sale | Brought $56 $56,595—Buyers 
Will Not Be ‘Disturbed in Possession. 


The Gavarnment began fault in the: 
United States Circuit Court yesterday to. 
forfeit the proceeds of the sale of eighty-| 
nine paintings: which were auctioned at 
Mendelssohn Hall on January 27 for 
lius Oehme, the art dealer of 467 Fifth 
favenue, who was retiring. from business 
because he was 82 years old and had had! 
two strokes of paralysis. It is. charged. 
that the paintings were imported at less. 
than their true valuation by means of 
false invoices and false affidavits. 

When the Oehme collection was put on | 
sale Auctioneer Thomas E. Kirby sur-' 
‘prised the buyers by announcing that 
only cash bids would be accépted, despite 
any arrangement Mr. Oehme might have 
rmade with his friends. Mr. Kirby knew 
/what the buyers did not—that the pictures 
had been seized the day before by Col- 
‘lector Loeb’s men after they had been 
‘on exhibition since January 21 at the 
‘American Art Galleries. 

: Mr. Kirby had pointed out to the 
‘customs men that the sale had been 
advertised and that fairness to the public 
demanded that it go on. He told them 
‘that if the Government allowed the sale 
to proceed and impounded the cash it 
would be better off than if the pictures 
were allowed to deteriorate and pile up 
charges in storage. Collector Loeb and 
Mr. Oehme thought so too. So,the sale 
}was virtually managed by Uncle Sam, 
Ninety-three paintings were sold, ut 
‘four of them were American products: 
and: do not figure in the suit. The whole 
batch brought $56,595, which is being 
turned over to Collector Loeb as fast as 
the buyers pay up under the thirty day 
rule.. From this sum must be deducted) 
Mr; Kirby’s commission and other charges. 
The Government doesn’t know yet just 
{ how. much it will realize. In the complaint 
| Assistant District Attorney Whitney puts 
ithe’ value of the pictures at $75,000, be- 
cause that is what Mr. Cehme had them 
j insured for. | 
The complaint alleges that Mr. Oehme’ 
| had been receiving undervalued pictures’ 
from. September 19, 1905, to* March 7, 
1910; that he wilfully failed to declare to 
the Collector the actual cost of his mer- 
| chandise and that he substituted fraudu- 
j lent invoices for the true ones. The Gov- 
ernment makes no public estimate of} 
the total undervaluation attributed to) 
Mr. Oehme. 

Mr. Loeb said yesterday that the fraud) 
had been discovered by chance. while 
his inspectors were rooting into other. 
cases. It is iit aistai that the tip came, 
from Paris.

DeEaR SIRs: 


Continued ill-health has forced me to relinquish all business pur- 
suits, and, under these circumstances, I consign to you the valuable 
paintings forming my stock, which comprises desirable examples of 
various masters, including a number of important works by the 
Barbizon and Modern Dutch painters, acquired by me during recent 
visits abroad, which are of the high artistic excellence demanded at 
present by the American connoisseur and amateur. ‘These works 
I place in your hands to be sold at public sale absolutely without 
restriction or protection of any kind, in order that I may, in com- 
pliance with the request of my physician, be free from all and every 
business care. 


Yours truly,

branches and covers the ground; lying also on the top of the barges, 
in contrast to the pale dull-red of one of their hulls and the greenish- 
blue deckhouse of another. From the chimney-flue of the latter 


rises a spire of smoke. It hovers in the chill air and forms a veil 
through which the buildings at the rear of the canal show mistily. 
Over their roofs the sky presents a bar of yellow, surmounted by 
streaks of gray and reddish-purple vapor.

colored sand is starred with a spiky growth of some pale yellow 
plants and bunched with masses of dark slaty-purple vegetation. In 
the middle distance appears another undulation, clothed with yellow, 
very pale green and dull fawn-colored growth. It is succeeded by a 
third slope, which shows orange tawny beneath a slaty drab mass of 
vapor, slit with intervals of blue. The left of the sky is crowded with 


flusters of grayish-buff cloud.

A ¥ARMER has ridden his bay horse into a pond beside his house, and 
the animal is lowering his head to drink. A roadway skirts the left 
of the water, leading up an incline to the farmhouse, a white-walled 
building where two gabled roofs are covered with dull red tiles. 
Beyond them is a mass of olive-green foliage, mounting up against 
a white cloud which interrupts the prevailing greenish-blue of the 
sky. At the right of the house grows a pale gray-green bush, near 
which stand a slender and a sturdy tree-trunk. To the right of them 
a vista of undulating pasture, dotted with some trees, extends to 
the horizon, where low hills appear, enveloped in blue atmosphere. 
The tints of sky and meadow are reflected in the pond, completing 


the rich tonality of the whole scene.

A young girl, of the ideal type of beauty imagined by this artist, is 
seen full face, her figure shown nearly to the waist. Her chestnut 
hair, parted in the centre and falling low on each side of her head, 
merges into the golden olive-brown of the background. ‘The ivory 
whiteness of the face is interrupted by the dark wells of the eyes, 
brooding in shadow; by a little shadow under the nose and by the 
rich red of the lips. A soft brown shadow hovers over the right 
side of her neck. A turquoise blue drapery falls from her breasts, 
revealing a little touch of white between them, and leaving the left 


arm bare, nearly to the elbow.

side. In the immediate foreground, at the left, stand two young 
apple trees, their leafless limbs snowy with blossom. On the farther 
side of the cart ruts is another white flowered tree and several with 
pinkish blossoms adjoin it. Beyond this extends a row of poplars 
with the suggestion of a brook. ‘Thence the ground rises with two 
enclosed fields to a cluster of cottages which crown the slope. Over 
on the left stands another rank of poplars. The scene is alive with 


the soft freshness and animation of early spring.

A VERY unusual example of Kowalski’s style of subject; the picture 
was painted for the artist’s own house. It shows the nude form of a 
young girl, standing on the right bank of a pool of water. While 
she stoops down to thrust forward her right hand, as if to touch the 
water, she turns a laughing face to the spectator. Her wet hair drips 
like seaweed over her left breast. She is standing on some trampled 
dead reeds, her figure silhouetted against the pale olive tawny of the 
bank and a distant bush of soft fluffy olive foliage. On the left 
bank of the water are sketchily indicated the nude forms of a girl 
lying down and another standing beside her. The vista of water 
terminates in a background of dark bluish-green and olive tawny 
trees.

with white face, neck and belly, stands almost full-front, turning 
her head, however, to the left, so that it is seen in profile... She is, 
perhaps, arrested in the act of drinking by the appearance of a 
scrubby haired dog, which has his tail to the spectator. <A little back

of all eves, the infant heir, is held in the arms of a gaily dressed peas- 
ant nurse, on whose left steps the godmother, bending toward the 
baby, while on the other side the godfather inclines his body toward 
the same centre of worship. The group is followed by the priest who 
has performed the christening, at the head of a party of ladies. An- 
other bevy of ladies, seated at the right of the foreground, is grouped 
about the richly decorated cradle. Meanwhile the mother, seated in 
state beneath a canopy, receives the felicitations of an oldish husband, 
who bends to kiss her hand.
